Hello there.

I am here again, today I will study about Expressing Feelings. Besides I´m going to talk about modals. I’ll try to put examples and new vocabulary of what I learned in class, and some of my practices to show the uses of these topics.

During this presentation I’m going to talk about: 

- Modals

- New vocabulary

• In class

In this unit, the first thing we did was an interpretation in front of the class, about a boss and an employee. The idea of the activity was interpret and use the new vocabulary like delighted, upset, uninterested, terrified, flabbergasted and livid, these are just some examples. My partner and I had to recreate the situation and try to act in front of our classmates.

Modals:

The next modals are used in different situation, for example:

Will, it is used when we want to predict something or to say how much you want to do something.

Might, this word is used to talk about a possibility or suggestions.

Must, Can’t, these are used for talk about an obligation and deduction.

Can, normally used to ask for permission or possibility or impossibility.

Supposed to, it is used when you are supposed to do something or follow some rule.

Bound to, when you are sure of some prediction, you must use this word “bound to”.

Likely to, this word is also used for probability.

Ought to, need to, should, used for obligation or necessity.

All these words are important, each one has significance. For this reason you must to use each word in different situations or statements.
